As can be seen in the above photograph, the ‘track’ referred to in the RTA’s sign is a road. It leads to the car park near the Alum Mountain’s summit.

Fraudulent RTA sign on gate across the original power-line track – photographed 8-2-2010. The sunlit area in the distance is just a part of the massive RTA-perpetrated evironmental destruction and cultural genocide taking place behind this and other such signs.

On 20-2-2010 loads of b-doubles-conveyed fill – a ‘grey gravel’ – were imported to the Alum Mountain where they were dumped over the alunite (and crystallised-alunite) strewn soils and clays of the mountain road.

While court cases, court appeals and applications for protection of Boolah Dillah – the Great Rock (the Alum Mountain) under Commonwealth Law are still in process Great Lakes Councilorganises a ‘Post By Pass’ [sic] meeting.

The meeting is aimed at turning the historic township of Bulahdelah into a highway service town.

Despite the existence of other times and other venues (and if pre-booked, other dates) Great Lakes Council employee David Bortfeld has organised for a night time meeting to be held at the Bulahdelah Uniting Church’s hall on Thursday, 25th February, between 5.30 and 7.00 p.m..

(Additional information regarding Great Lakes Council’s history and conduct in relation to the use of Option E for the Pacific Highway ‘upgrade’ at Bulahdelah is available at the above-linked Perpetrators with Pecuniary/Conflict of Interest page of this site.)

RTA excavator destroying bush area in the Alum Mountain Park which the RTA advertised in RTA, PPK Newsletters 3 and 4 as not being affected.

Satin Bower Birds have been building their mating grounds in this little patch of bush-land for over to well over twenty years.

Also within this immediate area is a multicultural heritage item – a tree stump with mining-survey numbers carved into it. This heritage item is meant to have been recorded in an addition to Great Lakes Council’s Heritage Study.

Log truck on way to remove evidence of the cultural genocide being committed by the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) at Bulahdelah

The driver of this log truck is accomplice to the RTA’s removal of evidence of cultural genocide at Bulahdelah – in preparation for construction of the RTA’s Option E ‘Bulahdelah Bypass’ death trap. The b-double left the area fully laden in the late afternoon of Thursday, 25th February, 2010.

The driver of this Hunter Firewood vehicle is also accomplice to the RTA’s removal of evidence of their cultural genocide at Bulahdelah. As are all of those involved in the processing and promotion of the ‘Bulahdelah Bypass’ death trap, especially but not limited to those who have practised or been accomplice to the fraudulence which has taken place during all of its phases, he is also a party to ecocide and genocide.

B-double loads of killed tree-trunks were witnessed being removed from the area of the RTA’s most recent ecocide and cultural genocide on 24th and 25th February, 2010.

Construction hours would normally be limited to 7.00 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday and 8:00 am to 1:00 pm Saturday. No work would take place outside these hours without discussion being held with local residents and the Department of Environment and Conservation.

[Note: The Department of Environment and Conservation is now titled: the Department of Environment Climate Change and Water – DECCW.]

On Saturday, 27th February, 2010, RTA destruction took place between 7.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.. The following photographs were taken after that time.

On his way to and from delivery of ‘Newcastle Earthmoving’ machinery for the RTA’s ecocide, cultural genocide and genocide at Bulahdelah, the driver of this ‘over size’ truck sounded its horn in the residential area. (Information from A. Carrall)

This RTA-destruction is of Australian heritage of international heritage value – one of the two mullock heaps at the only place in this country where the processing of alum stone (alunite) took place on site – the Alum Mountain Park, Bulahdelah.

Its location long known to Bulahdelah residents who kept it secret for fear of vandalism, this priceless Australian heritage, a carefully crafted brick channel from the mining era, has now been uncovered by the RTA. It is directly in the path of Option E.

Carefully crafted, violently unearthed. Not content with their future destruction of this internationally significant Australian heritage item for the RTA’s ‘Bulahdelah Bypass’ deathtrap, the RTA has vandalised it beforehand.

There was no need for this tree to be hacked. But this victim of an ecocidist’s aggression is right beside the mining heritage item residents knew about but the RTA did not.

This notice was not installed until after the two McPhan trucks were reversed past a school and through the residential area for the RTA’s Bulahdelah Bypassgenocide. (Photograph and information: A. Carrall)

By 10.20 a.m. the notice had blown down but was left lying on the ground while one of the McPhan truck drivers again reversed through the residential area and past Bulahdelah Central School, his truck beeping loudly and belching deadly diesel fumes throughout the entire process.

This RTA pre-construction on the western side of the Pacific Highway immediately north of Bulahdelah gives the false impression that the (fraudulently named) Bulahdelah Bypass is to the west of Bulahdelah, instead of through the Alum Mountain – a world-significant heritage site.

A major highway with no centre lines – gross mismanagement by the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) – Pacific Highway at northern Bulahdelah – 10-3-2010.

From Save the Alum Sacred Mountain, Bulahdelah [with permission]: ‘This floor has been covered up for a long time by the Mullock Heap. … The RTA found this, cleared the Mullock Heap, photographed it, then covered it up again’.

The Alum Mountain, Bulahdelah, is the only place in Australia where the on-site processing of alum stone (alunite) has ever occurred. This brickwork is world significant Australian heritage from the only factory of its kind ever to have existed in this country.
